Newbie...

Thanks Sharon for the invite! I am so excited!

I have been collecting the patterns for a while now. I have 4 blocks prep not in any order . . .

Debating on one color/fabric leaves for a long time...


Copied the little yellow wrap at the bottom of the pot from Jan...
I am using chain stitch on my embroidery stem...

a little bit of stitching here and there...

Merry Christmas everyone!

  8. Thanks Ladies!

    Janet, I used the Spray Starch Method of Applique with 2 layers of Freezer Paper as a template. Then glue basted with Elmer's white glue and heat set the glue.
